Sources told our affiliate WEWS-TV in Cleveland that national media outlets and private companies attending the Republican National Convention are ramping up security in the wake of the Thursday's terror attack in Nice, France.

French officials said 84 people were killed when a man drove a truck full of weapons into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day.

"Everybody's asking the same relative question. Should we be concerned?" said Tim Dimoff, president of SACS Consulting & Investigative Services, based in Akron.

Dimoff said his firm is providing security for business leaders and national media outlets during the convention.
